La Petite Jazzy Jam

This original Hong Kong band brings together eight musicians who are passionate about jazz in all its forms.  The word “petite”, means “small” in French, as the band is like a big band, only smaller.  This light formation, with only three horns, means the band’s sound has a wide range and flexibility, delivering strong, full harmonies as well as gentle, intimate tunes.

La Petite plays music from many genres and influences, mixing jazz standards with modern jazz, original compositions, funk and even some “jazzified” pop tunes.  Arrangements are specifically written to fit the band’s purposes, keeping each performance tailored and unique.

In this debut concert at the Fringe Club, La Petite will take you on a journey through styles and cultures.  From 1930s songs that every jazz-lover knows by heart to the band’s original arrangements of Cantopop hits, and from light-hearted French “chansons” to intricate modern jazz, you’re sure to find the jazz you like, as well as a few delightful surprises.
